Caroline Griffiths – Managing Director, Bradfield Group

"We are delighted to be working with 3SC. They have been supportive and demonstrated clearly what we need to do, and have helped us with this.
They are focused on quality performance and I hope our working relationship can become even closer providing mutual benefit, and enabling more blind and partially sighted people to obtain and retain employment.

Sean Owen – UK Employment Services Manager, RNIB

"Working with 3SC, over the past 12 months I think we have all been through a significant learning curve working on Work Programme. Our main 3SC contacts; Nicky and Melissa have been very supportive and hugely competent in helping Heantun make delivery progress. Nicky has a very in-depth understanding of Work Programme requirements and can also understand the challenges of being a smaller community partner. My experience of working with both Nicky and Melissa has been nothing but positive and supportive.

Tilly McDermott – Work Programme Manager, Heantun Housing

Jo (who is not at all scary) has supported me in my new role as team leader, with suggestions and encouragement on service matters.
One year in, and with the support of Jo (& 3SC) SMST is delivering interventions that meet the needs of our service users, have a team that are invested in it's success, and are delivering
